Deviant perception of the body is a fundamental component of anorexia nervosa. Here we offer a potential mechanistic explanation that involves perturbations within the visual system and the brain circuits that modulate perceptual organization. Based on the model proposed, we also suggest a mechanistic strategy for altering neuronal activity in the visual system to normalize perception of the body, and set out a strategy for empirically testing its clinical application.
对身体的异常感知是神经性厌食症的一个基本组成部分。在此,我们提供一种潜在的机制解释,该解释涉及视觉系统以及调节感知组织的脑回路中的扰动。基于所提出的模型,我们还提出了一种改变视觉系统中神经元活动以使身体感知正常化的机制策略,并阐述了一种对其临床应用进行实证测试的策略。
